TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive plaster for treating chaps. More specifically, it relates to an adhesive plaster which has a configuration particularly suitable for treating chaps formed around the nail of fingertip, and is capable of quickly treating chaps by closing cracks. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In the foregoing, first-aid adhesive plasters have been used to treat chaps formed at fingertip by kitchen work, etc. in winter season. However, the first-aid adhesive plaster is used for treatment by putting a pad portion positioned at the center of a rectangular backing onto cracks and protecting and also drying the cracks. Thus, there is a problem that exudation such as blood from the cracks is fixed to the pad after drying, and scabs formed at the cracks are pulled and give pain when the adhesive plaster is peeled. Further, closeness will be insufficient at the portion of a small curved configuration like fingertip, and when water penetrates therein by kitchen work, the pad portion will get wet and the treatment will be delayed. [0003] For the closure of the cracks, as a means for improvement, U.S. Pat. No. 6,410,818 discloses a technique for promoting healing by closing the cracks with an adhesive material. However, the material used for the closure of the cracks described in this publication is of a rectangular shape as well, and this shape is not suitable for enclosing the fingertip in a closed state, and is not suitable for protecting the wound portion around the nail of fingertip. Further, WO 99/16396 discloses an adhesive plaster of a shape suitable for fingertip. The adhesive plaster described in this publication has no pad, and has a shape suitable for enclosing the fingertip, like a boomerang. However, this shape cannot cover the fingertip entirely, and is not suitable for closing the chaps formed at side faces of nail (interface with skin). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] As described above, the conventional adhesive plaster has problems such that since even a small-size adhesive plaster for fingertip has a pad, it does not fit to a special affected part such as chaps, excess part of a substrate remains at the fingertip and the sticking is not comfortable, and the appearance is bad. In the present invention, in order to solve these problems, no pad is provided and fitting can be improved by use of a substrate having stretchability. [0005] Namely, it is an object of the present invention to provide an adhesive plaster for treatment of chaps and a treatment method thereof, by which even chaps formed around the nail of fingertip can be treated by closing the cracks securely. [0006] The present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by using an adhesive plaster which is made of a laminate of a stretchable backing and an adhesive and has a substantially T-shape. By forming the adhesive plaster in a substantially T-shape, it fits to the fingertip, and chaps easily formed around the nail of fingertip can be enclosed and protected. Further, when the backing is formed to have stretchability and the adhesive plaster is attached while slightly stretching it, it is possible to entirely close the chaps formed at the front part and right and left parts of the nail, and the adhesive plaster does not easily slip through the fingertip. [0007] As mentioned above, by using the adhesive plaster of the present invention, it is possible to protect the opening of wound, and close it, and treat the chaps in an early stage.

[0016] FIG. 9 is an enlarged view along the line 9-9 in FIG. 8. PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION [0017] The adhesive plaster for treatment of chaps of the present invention comprises a backing 10 having stretchability. As such a stretchable backing, a non-woven fabric made of elastic fibers is preferably used. [0018] As the non-woven fabric made of elastic fibers, non-woven fabrics of polyurethane elastic fibers, polyacryl elastic fibers and other elastic fibers may be used. As the non-woven fabric made of elastic fibers, ones having the following properties are preferably used. [0019] Basic weight 20 to 200 g/m.sup.2 Continue reading...
